Pros

There are some wonderful and very talented people at the agency

Cons

There is no consistency across FINN's business units, and as an agency that is rapidly growing via acquisitions, your experience will vary drastically based on which team you are a part of. My experience was incredibly troubling, exhausting, frustrating, and disappointing. Our whole team was heavily overworked and struggling with the constant pressure to generate new business (regardless of title). Our ability to get raises, promotions and bonuses was held over our heads to "motivate" us to bring in business, and the compensation we were receiving was often below industry standards. We spent an unreasonable amount of time being stuck in the middle of inter-office politics. The environment was almost internally competitive between different business units. You may all work for the same company, but it still feels like you're operating at a boutique firm fighting for business......and the opponents you’re up against sometimes happen to work at FINN, too. You'll work nights, weekends, and throughout your PTO if you even are able to get around to taking it. The unnecessary stress put on us by our group lead alone would be a justified reason to leave. However, that ongoing anxiety paired with the feeling of unfulfillment that comes with delivering sub-par work because you are extremely over-extended really makes the job feel not worth it. It's a shame b/c there are great people doing great work across the agency, but the risk of ending up under a group like the one I was a part of........is not one I would recommend taking.

Pros

Prioritizes work-life balance and enormous openness to feedback.

Cons

Limited opportunities for growth (I was part of a team that had no promotions in 6+ years, despite the fact that all of them are amazing), DEI façade to "pretend" they're part of a progressive movement (I'm nonbinary, I said this in my application and interview process, and literally no one ever used my correct pronouns, especially my manager who I talked about this with several times), and there's a lot of chaos that folks simply accept as a fact of life rather than something to grow from and improve. There's simply no desire to collaborate for growth—literally one of the most dysfunctional places I've worked at.
